Heather Kelley

Heather Kelley serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, responsible for managing mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force facility operations. Her work directly supports the agency’s focus on enhancing operational readiness through the procurement of advanced mechanical, electrical, and life-safety systems. She routinely oversees complex contracting actions for facility upgrades, including the integration of fire suppression, HVAC, and building automation technologies, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for resilience and security. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with infrastructure modernization priorities and are executed under full compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Kelley maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement on recurring facility enhancement projects, with contractors demonstrating proven expertise in commercial-grade mechanical systems adapted for defense environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor accountability across the project lifecycle. A defining feature of Kelley’s contracting portfolio is her strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and all awards specifically designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). This reflects a deliberate, policy-driven strategy to maximize veteran-owned business participation and ensure equitable access to defense contracting opportunities. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—reflecting deep technical expertise in building systems integration. She procures comprehensive HVAC, fire protection, and climate control solutions tailored for high-security military installations, requiring adherence to NFPA, ASHRAE, and UFC standards. Her domain expertise ensures that all acquisitions directly enhance facility resilience, energy efficiency, and mission-critical environmental control.
